Alright, but I to me the afterlife interpretation makes more sense, especially considering the video. But if you interpret it the other way, that makes sense too.
Easton Gutierrez
That doesn't mean that that's what the track is about
"The concept album idea was abandoned when the group felt they should not make their themes too obvious."

I feel like sometimes when I listen to this song, I hear the lyrics as "since I met you" instead of "since I left you" even though that's the song title. But that can't be right, can it?

The video is about this theme yes. When they find the dance casting, it's actually both of them dying, and while one of them accepts death, i.e. dances with the girls or goes into the light, the other one refuses the temptation to give in and hangs on to life. At the end, the survivor is certain that his old friend is in paradise.
